The Good Pleasure of God in Redemption
Isaiah 53:10-11
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed…


The good pleasure of God. Which the prophet marks to show —

1. That all the good that comes by Christ to sinners is bred in the Lord's own bosom.

2. The concurrence of all the Persons of the Trinity in promoting the work of the redemption of sinners.

(J. Durham.)
